USAC Spain: Madrid - Spanish Language, Art & Spanish Studies

I had an amazing time in Madrid, Spain. There, I learned Spanish, met locals, made lifelong friends and traveled all across the country and Europe. My academic advisors and professors were so helpful every step of the way with supporting not only my academic but also my personal journey. I loved my housing situation as I lived in a beautiful apartment in the heart of the city with my very own room and amazing roommates! And all my classes were so fun and helpful in learning Spanish and I even got to take a photography class. I would recommend going to Madrid to anyone considering studying abroad!

I had such an amazing time! I’m actually going back to live in Madrid for 10 months because I enjoyed my time there so much! That staff was amazing and most of the teachers I had were very kind! I would definitely recommend!

I met so many amazing people while I was in Madrid and had experiences and connections that I will spend the rest of my life reminiscing on. I hope I can be so lucky to do something so beautiful again! I got the opportunity to see Morocco, which completely changed my life, I went on short beach trips, made lifelong friends, experienced the culture, learned a ton of Spanish, and experienced freedom and independence for the first time in my life. I will be forever indebted the universe for allowing me to have experienced something so pure and beautiful and I will never be the same. Part of the reason this was possible is because the program, specifically Sara and Gabriela did a fantastic job making sure logistics were taken care of so all we had to worry about was settling in and having a wonderful experience.
